A pair of Cincinnati Reds - second baseman Scooter Gennett and closer Raisel Iglesias - are among 10 of "the likeliest to receive considerable attention given where contending clubs' needs stand today," according to MLB.com contributor and former New York Mets general manager Jim Duquette.

8. Scooter Gennett, Reds
Cincinnati once again has a top middle infielder enjoying a career year; last year it was Zack Cozart, and this year it's Gennett. Evaluators who think the National League batting leader's production is mostly a byproduct of Great American Ball Park are mistaken; Gennett has actually been better on the road (.869 home, .926 road) this season. And after struggling against lefties earlier in his career, Gennett has crushed southpaws for a .958 OPS in 2018. While he is due for a bit of a correction in the second half as his .383 BABIP regresses, he would add balance and depth to any lineup.

Prediction: Gennett to the Red Sox for a package of shortstop C.J. Chatham (Boston's No. 10 prospect) and a lesser pitching prospect.

10. Raisel Iglesias, Reds
It's hard to imagine that both Iglesias and the Padres' Brad Hand will be traded in the same summer, especially because they are both affordable and under team control through 2021. The asking price may prevent either of them from being moved, but expect a lot of interest in the relief pitching market again this July.
